Nvidia Titan Xp vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which comes with GPU core speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 2048 Stream Processors, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
Nvidia Titan Xp		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Nvidia Titan Xp should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon RX 5600 in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		560845 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 265933 (90%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp should be a lot (more or less 116%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 203680 (116%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan Xp is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 63872 (73%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
